California To Do List

What I need to do while in California this week:
1. Visit with family and friends
Okay, well, 1 have dinner and lunch plans, trying to cram in seeing everyone as much as possible.
2. Enjoy the sunshine
60-70 degrees and sunny--need I say more??
3.  Workout
Hey, its 65 degrees outside---easy to go take a walk...big change from the 25 degrees in Ohio.
4. See some mountains...really, more than the rolling hills of Ohio.
Wide Open Spaces is nice--the Dixie Chicks were right!
5. See the ocean
Definitely can't be crossed off in Ohio, although there are some large lakes nearby.
6. Eat GOOD Mexican food
No, Chipotle, doesn't count as good Mexican food.
7. Eat at Jamba Juice
There are no Jamba Juices in Ohio, and when I described what a healthy smoothie is, they described Coldstone ice cream smoothies...seriously.  I was then offered a milkshake at the fast food chain Steak n Shake.
8. Try some more international delights that aren't available in Ohio
I had some great Indian food..maybe some Thai food tomorrow...yes, I am very food motivated-there is a reason why me and my Labrador get along.
9. Get some studying done
With Justin and everyone else working, I have some time to catch up on reading, and yes, I am too much of a dork to not study this week.
10. Enjoy the sunshine
yes, it is worth writing twice.
